Summer is the best time to catch up on some great reading material! On my nightstand you will find a stack of magazines, religious books, and Kim Bearden's new book Crash Course: The Lessons My Students Taught Me. I am so honored that I got to pre-read her book and do a review on it! It is an awesome read! This book is a collection of Kim's inspiring stories as an educator and I think it's something we can all relate to (as teachers). She also shares some up and downs from her personal and professional life-- which helped me realize that we all have our own struggles in life and it makes us better people.
Kim Bearden is the co-founder and executive director at the Ron Clark Academy. Most importantly, she is also the language arts teacher.
Kim has received numerous awards for her creative, dynamic, and rigorous teaching styles. She was selected from over 70,000 nominations to be honored as the Disney American Teacher Awards Outstanding Middle School Humanities Teacher. Along with countless other awards, she was also chosen from among 7,000 teachers as Teacher of the Year in Cobb County Georgia.
Over the past twenty-three years, she has been a teacher, instructional lead teacher, curriculum director, school board member, staff development trainer, and middle school principal.
For someone that has accomplished so much during her career, Kim is by far one of the most humble and down to earth educators. Her life hasn't been perfect, and I love that she is so transparent in her book as she shares her experiences as an educator.
Instead of telling you, I will just show you! Here is a little clip that shows who and what the Ron Clark Academy is all about! The best part? You can actually come spend a day…or two…at the school! Be sure and follow the Ron Clark Academy on Facebook {HERE} to receive special updates and events!
